From the Boston ‘ Globe.’~A whitehaired, morbid young man was raving about the emptiness of life. ‘The sooner the world ends the better,” he said. “We all ought to be annihilated.” “My dear fellow,” his friend replied, “ the world’s packed with interesting things. They’ve just discovered’that hitman life began on this earth about a million years ago—and you talk of wiping us all out.” “A million. years ago?” “The papers are full of it.” “ Oh, .well,” said the morbid man, miserably, “it’s too ate to do anything about it, then.”
